SQL Server software and windows version compatibility level

  • Is there a specific platform or website where I can verify the compatibility between different versions of SQL Server software and Windows? For instance, I would like to check the compatibility of Microsoft Command Line Utilities for SQL Server, MS Report Builder, and MS SQL Server Management Studio.

  • Each product page lists the OS requirements and upgrade paths, compatibilities, etc. Example here

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/hardware-and-software-requirements-for-installing-sql-server-2019?view=sql-server-ver16

  • Google is your friend

  • but one thing you can take for granted - all currently supported versions of the software you mentioned work in all currently supported versions of Windows (and in some *Nix) as well.

    what you should be more worried is what versions are supported (or required for particular functions) for the different versions of SQL Server you have - using a SSMS for SQL 2014 to connect to a SQL 2019 can fail in particular things for example.

    and using latest SSMS to connect to a SQL 2014 Integration Services may/will fail as well.
